Here we go again! New pico build with a 5.5g. This will be AIO and very simple. I derimmed the tank last night and just got my black acrylic today. All I need to do now is drill a hole for the return pump and glue it all in.

Sweet! I think I am going to be building something like this for my desk at work. Not sure what all I am going to keep in it since there are breaks and such that I will have to work around. May just keep a FW tank but after these tanks I can't really justify fresh water anymore.

Got some super cool zoas that are metallic orangish yellow! Couldnt ID them off of zoaid.com but they are super nice (and cheap hehe). I would take pictures but they wont come out right with the LED's.

I also discovered that one of my rocks is covered in christmas tree worms! I have only seen one come out and its blue, but I can see the encrusted skeleton on the entire rock so there should be at least 10 more spread out. I always wanted some of these guys and now I have them

So I have neglected this thread and now its time to bring this back to life, as my 20L has been broken down.

Right now Its very simple I have the same equipment except I now have my 150w MH w/T5(pwered by a galaxy ballast) and a knano 425.
Livestock has changed, I now have a rainbow acan echinata, that crazy colored favia from my 20L, Hallelujah mountain zoas, Metallic orange zoas, and a Bird of Paradise SPS that is coloring up nicely again!

I will be doing a WC tonight and I will clean it up a little to post some pictures!

Ok so I rescaped and stirred up a bunch of sand and cleaned out the detritus from the back chambers. I also got some new zoas that seem to be Blue Space Monsters from what I could tell from Coralpedia.

Oh I forgot to mention I got a rainfords goby last week on tuesday. He seems to be doing good. I heard they are quite picky eaters sometimes but we shall see.

I am planning that GU10 LED build soon I am in the process of looking for the parts to order. Im thinking of doing this pattern: 3 blues and 2 white of the 3x1watt GU10 bulbs
